As a proactive and passionate supporter of Manchester, I’m proud to have been representing the borough as part of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce for nearly 3 years this July.
I’ve been engrained in Manchester and the wider Business Community since 2019, so have witnessed the changes that we have faced over the years and the impacts being had on our city centre and particularly the businesses within it. As a Sales, Marketing and Events Professional that has based my businesses in the heart of Manchester, in Spinningfields, over the past 5 years I have had the privilege of meeting many members through events, in the Members Lounge as well as around the city in general.
I continue to work hard to voice the need for Connection. The reduction in footfall since the Pandemic has been and continues to be a very real issue for local businesses but also our people, your people. I am currently working on engaging with Local Authorities to seek updates on what we can expect to see in terms of plans for these key aspects impacting these issues such as Public Transport, Funding, Recruitment and Skills Support and more.
A significant part of my role as President, is about being that voice and conduit between the Manchester Members/Community and the Chamber Team, as well as through representation with Local Authorities, Press and other organisations interested in developments across Manchester.
Please remember, you get out of it what you put in! So being ‘in the room’ and making the most out of the events as well as making the most of the significant benefits that you have through Chamber Membership is really important. I’d like to hear from you on any issues that you are passionate about, that are or could impact your business or simply if you wish to reach out, I am independent and keen to hear your experience to feedback and further improve the experience for all members.
If there’s anything you’d like to discuss, please connect with me on LinkedIn and send me a Direct Message.
